What is Reverse Racism?

[Caminofeld]

Alright, so something happened today that pissed me off more than anything has in awhile…

First off I grew up in Baltimore and hate when racism towards whites is labeled "Reverse Racism"…as if to say racism typically occurs the other way. I can tell you firsthand this is not the case. The first, second, and 3rd time I got jumped growing up were by groups of young black males who were either residents of the section 8 apartments they built next to my parent's nice neighborhood or malingerers from Baltimore City associated with that complex. The people who got my friends into drugs and terrorized my middle and high school were black kids from "the bad side" of Loch Raven Blvd. Both times I've been shot at were by blacks in Baltimore City. The list goes on…

Funny thing is, despite all that I've managed to maintain long-standing friendships with people of many different races (including black) and never really held a grudge…other than a desire to get as far away from the city as possible.

So now I live in a fairly rural area, drive a big truck, and probably appear to be a Country boy most of the time.

I took the kids to the local market to get dinner supplies and noticed an out of place group of 5 black males in the store being loud and obnoxious. I didn't pay them any mind and went about my business. After we checked out they left without buying anything and I noticed them piling into a brand new Mercedes SUV as I loaded up the kids and groceries. Once again, I didn't interact, stare, etc…just stayed situationally aware as I have been trained to do. We left and had to take the back way due to a bridge being out and me needing to get to high ground for a cell signal to call the Wife. They pulled out after me and, after a few turns, I realized that I was being followed. Just to make sure I wasn't being paranoid I made a few more random turns and they stayed with me. My high ground was the local playground; which I knew had surveillance cameras and would probably have a crowd (which I hoped would deter them)…so I drove there with my CCW in my lap. As I started to turn in they floored it, sped by me, and the rear passenger made a gun gesture at me with his fingers out the window as they sped off between the corn fields. Were my kids and I victims of a hate crime? They really don't know how lucky they are to have sped away when they did because when it comes to the safety of my children I will absolutely use lethal force if necessary. My only regret is not being able to get a tag # (in PA we only have rear tags).

No real sense in posting this other than to vent and basically say WTF?!?!?!

Does your training also teach you to question everything?

Would you be willing to entertain the possibility that people with unfathomable amounts of money have the resources and political motivation to create planned interactions between unwitting citizens?

[Caminofeld]

My training does not, but my common sense and skepticism do.

Hatred, fear, and groupthink are great tools for manipulating the masses…and politicians and the media use it every day to further their agenda. The trouble is, I don't really know who to trust…so I don't trust anyone until they prove themselves otherwise.

Some conspiracies are so big they're largely ignored because most people can't fathom something of that size. Start at the USS Liberty and connect the dots from there. Why did UNMARKED Israeli aircraft knowingly attack a US warship? Why was it swept under the rug? Why is the Mossad creed "By Way of Deception, thou shalt do war"? Sounds to me like they were trying to make it look like Egypt did it and let us go in to do their dirty work. Luckily the radio transmissions were intercepted where the Israeli pilots stated that it was a US ship but were still ordered to attack. Keep that in mind and look at 9/11. Read reports of the "5 dancing Israelis". Same idea? I'll never know, but anything is possible…

Keep your eyes open, watch you six, and ALWAYS read between the lines...

A very wise Doctor I worked with once told me "The thing about being paranoid is you only have to be right once".

[knappyfeet]

I'm sorry..........you were not the victim of racism. Obama and the justice department informed us that there is no such thing.....nothing to see here.

It sounds like you were the recipient of payback for your white privilege.

Good job dad for keeping your eyes open for your families safety. More should do the same and be aware.

Thanks Knappy! That is a beautiful EC! 1971? More pics?

Unfortunately I sold mine a few years back because I was in a bind…but the silver lining is that I got enough cash to save my house, a 1952 8N tractor, and a "loved" 1986 350x. Crazy coincidence that the guy I sold it to was a friend of a friend that restored vintage tractors and added a "training wheel" for safety (AKA no longer wanted his "dangerous" trike). Mine was an '87 with a 383 de-stroker (400 block punched over with a 350 crank) and 4 on the floor conversion painted PPG Dodge 2001 R/T blue. The motor was going bad (I should have known that a mm of metal between the cylinders was not enough), but the guy had a fresh 400 ready to drop in. Sad to see my first car go, but I know it went to a good home and I know it's going to get the TLC it deserves there.

[knappyfeet]

Thank you.

Well....saving your home is far more important than any old car would be. It sure looks like you had a nice one there though.

There was a guy in Ramona CA that had a lot full of old 9Ns and 8Ns.....right off the highway. Last time I was up there I didn't see him though.....maybe he moved. Classic tractor fever.

You see the problem with your thought process is that you call the group of miscreants a group of blacks. According to our wise leaders that is a racist statement. You have now judged them to be bad because they are black. And don't mention getting threatened or shot at because African Americans can not be held accountable for that as it is their culture. You wouldn't want to be doubly racist and deny them their prison culture would you. After all they gained this culture because the racist cops arrested them for being themselves.

Btw in case anyone is wondering I am a southerner and my forefathers were the original European immigrants to Louisiana. Down here we get a lot of misconceptions about our race relations. Whites and blacks get along just fine, but a lot of the youth have been trained to believe they are unfairly treated. Sure we used to have slavery. So did everyone else in the world. Historically about half the big slave owners in Louisiana where free blacks. Down here color didn't make you a slave that was something altogether different. Poor white people didn't own slaves either. A lot of white people were indentured servants. Many of them died while engaged in their work.

Our people are not generally bad but it is changing with the new generation. That applies to white people as well. Many slackers, druggies, perverts all over. I guess TV is bad, but good moral upbringing and a higher standard to look up to (i.e. Jesus Christ) sure does help a lot.

One trend I have noticed is that most of the troublemakers are not from down here at all but from big northern cities.

[fabiodriven]

Statistically speaking you should be nervous around a group of young black people. It's time to stop sugar coating reality, it is what it is and numbers don't lie.

If church is something to look up to for some of you that's great. Personally I prefer organizations that don't harbor pedophiles, and let's please not pretend that never happened either.

How about just being a good person and raising your own as such? Excuses have become such a prevalent part of our culture that we now need one to raise a good child?

You say they looked like an out of place crew and your gut instinct was right...there's a lot to be said about the way people present themselves. I was pulled over once in rough black neighborhood, a 17 year old white kid in an "arrest-me-red" car, at 1am(i worked the late shift). I was cutting through this neighborhood as it was the shortest way to my girlfriends house. Cop sees me, instant cherries and berries, comes and questions me about what I'm doing and where I'm going and asked if i knew this was a bad part of town, and says, "i thought you didn't have a seatbelt on, as it matches the color of your shirt, and lets me go about my night. I could've been mad about it, but something about a white kid in a red car by himself in a black part of town after midnight didn't look right to him. I could've screamed "reverse racism" and "profiling" and made everybody know i wasn't doing anything wrong and got pulled over by a black cop. But the way i see it, he took a chance of that happening to him when he pulled me over but what if he had saved a life that night?

The problem with "racism" is that you can argue it until you're blue in the face. The cop in my story could be called "racist", We could argue the fact that the black officer is best suited to patrol the black neighborhood because he understands them and their culture better, and we could call that "racist". We can argue that the fact i called it a black neighborhood "racist" On and on and on.


I continued to drive through that neighborhood until my car broke down back there. Came to get it the next day to find busted windows and a missing cd player and broken mirrors and the 35 cents missing out of the door handle. Very glad it wasn't 1 am.

Reverse-racism is an utterly manufactured thing that doesn't really exist. Look up the definition of racism, it doesn't say anything about a certain group of people (whites) being the only ones capable of it, nor does it say other groups are incapable of it. Either a person is racist, or a person is not. Racism is colorblind, and anyone who believes otherwise is probably racist themselves. But I guess if we really think about it, about the only reasonable definition for reverse-racism would be someone who hates their own race... IE: Guilty white liberals.....The same white douchebags who take part in BLM riots....

There are examples of racist people that can be found in EVERY SINGLE RACE, and that's a fact. If you don't believe that, I'll stop by Never-Never Land and visit you sometime.

Sounds like you had a very close call with a random act of violence Camino... Very disturbing if their intent was racially motivated! Is there any other possible reason you can think of that would cause them to follow and then attempt to intimidate you like that???

[deathman53]

I am only gonna say this: during the Rodney King riots, who burned down neighborhoods, who pulled innocent people out of their cars/trucks and beat them, who looted their own neighborhoods, who burned down their own neighborhoods and who caused damage to their own local businesses................black people. You have to give/show respect and intelligence to others and situations to gain any kind of acceptance. By doing as the black people did during the Rodney King riots, it made them look stupid and less of people. Same goes for katrina during 05, they were shooting guns, looting stores- NOT of food and drinks, but stereo's, tv's????????? and shoots guns on the top of roofs and wondering why the helicopters weren't helping them out???? Yes......alot of the people that did this was black people. My parents told me about the black-out of NYC during the early 70's, guess what........black people raped white women, looted stores, robbed banks and even went so far to set stores on fire!!!!! Yes...there was white people in the bunch, but overrun by blacks. They are a product of how they behave and there is good black people(who don't want anything to do with the them) and for some reason, black people now are being taught to hate whites from birth. Also taught that going with their "posse", 5 in a car stereo blasting, bass so high that you can shake the road, pants hanging so low that you can see entire underwear and when someone looks at them in disgust and looks down at them, all they know is to take out their "gat", point it at you, maybe shoot in air and go peeling off. They should start to look at how they portray themselves before anything.
Yes, I got off point. Reverse racism actually has more to do with, requirements being lower to get the same result ie: job tests. Minorities and women tend to get curves in employment test, don't need to perform as good in tasks and aren't held up the standards that "white" people are. As how the white people feel that the blacks can get anyway with anything and never get any punishment, some even get rewarded. If a company is of a certain size that HAVE to hire so many minorities, even if they don't fit the standards for hiring, in order to fire them.....2 verbal warnings, 4 written warnings, 2 suspensions and then fired.....what does the black person do next, go to a lawyer and sue the company for racism. If the same scenario had a white person, 1 verbal, 1 written, 1 suspension(maybe not) and fired. Yes, most of the time, cops will pull over anything that doesn't look right. Reverse racism has more to do with the lowering of standards for a specific group, cutting them a break, excusing their bad behavior and giving them concessions that ONLY minorities get.
